That&#39;s one of the reasons Yoshida is now revered within the XIV community.<br /><br />We don&#39;t get Seekers of Adoulin without 1.x being such a disaster. The only question was self-sufficiency.Starcadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09226367306835781483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3974394344589944161.post-19296949683697908932015-05-29T20:48:55.780-07:002015-05-29T20:48:55.780-07:00It&#39;s funny looking back over your old posts, a...It&#39;s funny looking back over your old posts, and how you keep insisting the game isn&#39;t going to survive, and yet here it is, one of the longest-running MMORPGs ever.

A final expansion is reasonable, considering they can&#39;t keep churning out more if the dev kits die, and they don&#39;t want a big multi-year expansion like WotG or Adoulin to be in progress when the kits die and they no longer can make the content.<br /><br />Console support is ending because Sony is shutting down DNAS, which only FFXI still uses, and Microsoft is shutting down their matchmaking servers that connect players to the game. That&#39;s in March 2016, which is an amazing run for PS2 online service.<br /><br />They never migrated their development environment to Windows when they had the staffing and knowledge to do so. They seem to have learned from that in respect to FFXIV, which is developed on PC, not PS3 or PS4 dev kits. When the PS2 dev kits are dead, they can no longer make new zones, character models, or sounds/music for FFXI on any platform, since it is all translated from the PS2 environment.bungiefanhttps://openid.aol.com/opaque/e22cc896-05af-11e5-8a46-17ec46b67df6noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3974394344589944161.post-36580103145618161752013-07-22T00:47:28.554-07:002013-07-22T00:47:28.554-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.dveeeeeeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08412063047955417993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3974394344589944161.post-44156381807828215592013-03-19T11:49:33.373-07:002013-03-19T11:49:33.373-07:00There are some human beings left in the world.

He&#39;s an absolute dick, and can basically show how to be a dick in about 100 conceivable ways (including one I posted last night!).<br /><br />A lot of my current blog is about him because, frankly, he IS probably the single most powerful player on the Leviathan server, and that has to be stopped somehow before his endgame (the probable control of Adoulin content for pay, IMHO) takes effect.<br /><br />(Having eight powerful characters botted together will do that for you. When you and one other person can successfully drive from the server one of the last remaining powerful (and almost certainly botting as well!) HNMLS&#39;s, that kind of tells you something, doesn&#39;t it?)<br /><br />I mean, it makes you sound like, if you are a Leviathan player (Hell, if you play XI at all...), you&#39;d like to be under the control of an RMT cheating piece of shit that basically can control, for pay, what you do and do not play.<br /><br />Under that scenario, I&#39;m paying my $12.95/month to the wrong people!<br /><br />And THAT&#39;S why he gets mentioned.<br /><br />Jealousy? Envy?? Fuck you!<br /><br />If I could afford 8 accounts, would I? Hell, no!<br /><br />You see, you conveniently &quot;forget&quot; a very important piece of information. This isn&#39;t just him being able to &quot;octo-box&quot;. This is about saying two things:<br /><br />1) How can he do that without botting under the Terms of Service? (He can&#39;t.)<br /><br />2) Why does he feel the necessity to in an 11-year old game unless he has an endgame to the benefit of himself and a very few others?<br /><br />I&#39;ll tell you the same I tell a bunch of other people: If you truly believe the bullshit you just posted, you had better have me expelled under the game Terms of Service under Game Disruption -- that I am so &quot;gimp&quot; and so &quot;envious&quot; that my mere presence on FFXI disrupts the game experience of the (fewer and fewer) relevant players on Leviathan server.<br /><br />(PS: 44. I already changed it on said birthday. ;) )<br /><br />And another mighty Fuck You to another cheating piece of shit.Starcadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09226367306835781483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3974394344589944161.post-22488423977897384622013-01-29T01:18:45.649-08:002013-01-29T01:18:45.649-08:00To me it sounds like someone that is envious of Co...To me it sounds like someone that is envious of Comeatmebro. Not only is 3/4 of your blog about him, but such emotions when you speak of him! If you could afford 8 accounts to go do what ever you pleased, wouldn&#39;t you? It&#39;s more for that reason than what you have in mind in my personal opinion. If you&#39;re 44 ... wait excuse me 45 didn&#39;t you just have a birthday? Anyways being a 45 year old man you honestly have nothing better to do with your time then to attempt to bash a legitimate player that&#39;s helpful with his knowledge of this fine game we all play and love. To be perfectly clear, you are a joke. You have no worth here, nor do you hold any sort of respect from any of your fellow gamers. Either you are the sad miserable piece of shit you lead us all to believe. Or! You&#39;re the worst fucking troll of all trolls.

This is the only conceivable scenario in which &quot;players&quot; like Comeatmebot would pay $100+/month for the product.<br /><br />Second, &quot;it only effects the Game in my head&quot;. Nice try. As I&#39;ve said before, upon review of the Terms of Service, you&#39;re forcing the rest of us to play the game with the illegal materials, or risk being expelled from the Game ourselves. Fuck you.<br /><br />There&#39;s a reason that I should be banned from any public FFXI gathering. I&#39;d kick your fucking ass.Starcadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09226367306835781483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3974394344589944161.post-4614981306886680662013-01-23T08:15:26.328-08:002013-01-23T08:15:26.328-08:00You really need to get a new hobby Starcade...
